HCs for Modern Day 1st Platoon sharing a house (throwing in my oc for the fun of it)
After 9/11, they all joined the US Army. They went to basic together, all Infantrymen.
In 2010, during a mission, they all were under attack and began to get surrounded. They all sustained serious injuries that got them honorably discharged from the Army.
After being sent back to the States, they all decided to buy a house together in Helena, Montana.
Using the new Post 9/11 GI bill, the six of them decided to pursue a higher education to start their new lives
Robert Zussman is in nursing school
Ronald Daniels wants to pursue a career in sports medicine. He helps run an after-school program for children and teenagers, being the football and baseball coach.
William Pierson is getting a bachelor's in Literature and Creative Writing, having written a book already about his time in Afghanistan with 1st Platoon.
Joseph Turner is getting a bachelor's in History
Drew Stiles, having been in college before 9/11 and stopping his education to join, continued to pursue a career as a professional photographer and plans to shine light on what is going on in the Middle East with his photos
Frank Aiello works at a high end restaurant as a server, but is in culinary school to become a professional chef.
Nancy is getting a bachelor's in Political Science and Homeland Security
Now to the fun: the house is almost always in a state of chaos
There's bickering, arguments (that Nancy and William have to separate otherwise it would turn into a full blown physical altercation)
Joseph is the mom of the group, he is the one often cooking and cleaning and making sure everyone has what they need, goes where they're supposed to go, and always lends a hand or shoulder
William is the dad, the stern, strict one that threatens to kick them out of the house of they don't stop fighting or lower their goddamn music at midnight
Nancy is the Disneyland parent, but she can be strict. She usually let's the four younger ones get away with random shit, and at first they were all intimidated of her because she was so stoic and deadly in the Army. But they warmed up to her and she got soft for them, but if they do shit that threatens their lives, then she's gonna kill them
They all face issues of being Veterans in a growing society that is solely dependent on the media. They face discrimination and hardships, and since they were all young when they joined the Army, they still have to discover who they are as a person
But despite the petty fights and the teasing and their differences, at the end of the day, they are a family and they will do anything to take care of each other
